Probably the best site for NIT projections even though they don't update as regularly as you'd like. Before last week's games (wins over OSU and UO at home), CU was projected as being on the right side of the NIT bubble and pulling a 7-seed. I'd assume that we'll be looking much better after last week is factored in.

what's the facination with csu? other than the SDSU win in Fart Collins and the close win over the Buffs.... who have they beat of quality?

No one. But the computers love losses to good teams. Adn they've lost to Stanford (60 in KenPom rankings), Southern Miss (44), Duke (15), New Mexico (11), UNLV (18) and Wyoming (54). They don't have any good wins outside of SDSU (who, BTW, is 63rd in KenPom), but they have tons of "good losses".

still angry at you guys and your Nate love for costing us that game at CSU.

5 seed as of Valentine's Day. We keep moving up, but again, 5 is too low. They also have Arizona (1 seed), Oregon (5 seed), and Stanford (6 seed) in the field from the Pac. An NIT remtach with CSU doesn't seem out of the question, that's the type of matchup the NIT loves..

I'm sorry, but if you can't get caught up in this, I feel bad for you. Sports are all about reveling in the "what ifs" and this thing called "hope." I suffer when our buffs lose, and lose we have. I try to enjoy the good times when they come or even have a possibility of coming. Coming to AB and wanting to partake in the optimism of these next few games and seeing a thread titled "NIT Bracketology" really was a wet blanket for me. The NIT is something I will only think about once--and if-- we lose in the pac 12 tourney.

Ignore the thread.

And trust me when I say that there's no issue with me not getting caught up in the excitement (I know I also speak for others who have posted in this thread - CVille, Goose, Snow, UBL, etc. - we're all huge hoops fans). :smile2:

I can also guarantee that none of us are thinking NIT at the game tonight. :wink2:

I know I'm in the minority, but I don't see us sniffing the NCAA unless we get the auto-bid.

There's good history on our side regarding the selection committee not liking to pick at-large teams that have losing conference records unless those teams have a sick OOC SOS and RPI. With the soft bubble this year, they'd have to pick a lot of losers to pass over a CU squad that finished with say a 13-5 regular season conference record, won two games in the P12C, and finished with an overall 23-10 record. I'd guess our RPI would end up high 40s or low 50s with a finish like that.

We've definitely got alot of work to do. If you want a reality check just go look at the RPI and SOS of some of the other bubble teams and it's clear we are a ways off from being in serious consideration at this point.

Dude. Love the enthusiasm, but this team has been overachieving all season. On the telecast tonight, I was reminded the Buffs lost something like eighty percent of their scoring from last season. We aren't an NCAA tourney worthy team. We aren't winning the PAC-12 tourney. We'll be lucky to win one game on our way to LA. An NIT run is the best we can hope for.

Im not saying were gonna win it. Im just saying thats the mind set that fans and especially players should be in. You wouldn't be talking about going to the Alamo bowl if we were in contention for a BCS bid..
